Changes likely to 7s team

It is understood that there will be few changes to the Digicel Fiji Sevens team which was earlier announced by the FRU chairman Keni Dakuidreketi for the Hong Kong and Adelaide Sevens tournaments.

The few players who took part in the Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament where they lost to Kenya in the Cup quarterfinals are carrying niggling injuries and may not be considered for the third leg of the IRB World Sevens Series.

It is believed that players named in the 15-man squad will be assessed first by the medical staff and the physio before the national selectors name the team to Hong Kong and Adelaide.

The squad earlier announced included in the forwards: Pio Tuwai, Seremaia Burotu, William Rasileka, Suliasi Ramasima, Apisai Naiyabo, Waqabaca Kotobalavu and Watisoni Votu.

In the backs: Peni Rokodiva, Osea Kolinisau, Orisi Sareki, Waisale Suka, Niumaia Cakacaka, Nasoni Roko, Emosi Vucago and Vereniki Goneva.

The Hong Kong Sevens tournament will be held from 27th to 29th of this month.
